Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! 8/10

Undeniably best romcom of this season. Alya-san only had Yuki going for them but everyone in this show are so grounded and likeable even with how exaggerated the jokes are played for laughs.

It's refreshing to see a cast of characters that act like people you would be able to find in real life who have their own situations to deal with that you would rarely find in other romcoms. It really gives you a sense of relatability and makes you care much more about them.

Even if Makeine ends up without Nukumizu getting together with anyone, it would still be a really enjoyable SoL with the 4 of them remaining as best friends.

Ooi! Tonbo 8/10



While it's mostly a pretty standard sports anime, what makes Ooi! Tonbo stand out is rather the drama undertone and how it seamlessly ties with the sports part. It has also the vibes of a kids anime (I guess because of OLM animating this series) so the series overall is quite lighthearted and wholesome, with a few tear inducing scenes. I really like that while the seires is simple overall, the characters felt realistic, as well as their struggles and problems.

Also I think I am the very very few percentage of people that finds gold amusing so I might be also biased on this score lol.

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu: 8/10: I'm mixed on this one, on one hand, the anime is pretty average, on the other hand, the spanish dub is actually so fucking good it hardcarries this anime, so 8/10 seems fair

Wistoria: Wand and Sword 8/10

I think I read too much power fantasy manga because its ridiculous how many I reading from this season alone.

But speaking of, my GOD did I not expect Wistoria's adaptation to be so damn peak. In a season full of new anime coming out, nothing else comes close to this level of quality aside from Oshi no Ko S2.

The fluid and expressive animation to the impressive tracking shots feels so damn good. It's a blessing that we actually get to watch a power fantasy with this great visuals as it can really express the power these protagonists put out, making it so much more satisfying to watch.

The visuals did get worse compared to the first episode but it's still pretty good.

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu season 2: 7/10 No spanish dub for this one, so what we have left is just a very typical romcom heavily relying on otaku culture very male fantasy/self-insert focus really slow in the romance and fairly plain in the characters some drama that just doens't really hit and overall an anime that doesn't have much to say

tho, I will say, this is probably the closest we're getting to male oriented fruits basket

The Chocolate Panic Picture Show 7/10



I normally don't do this when I watch an experimental short but I think The Chocolate Panic Picture Show is worth talking about solely for the utter and pure distilled nonsense it is. I genuinely thought stuff like The Flying Luna Clipper was weird but this takes weirdness to the next level, in fact, it also embraces weirdness in a spectacle of randomness whose only element in common was the three stereotypical and possibly cancellable protagonists and the ball they were rolling. I was genuinely in awe at times.



I had to substract points because there is literally 5 minutes of heavy breathing sounds in the background at the beginning.

Yesterday I read the book "No longer human", so I thought to check the manga adaptations, for context, if I had to rate the novel, I would give it a 9.

No Longer Human (Junji ito): 5/10: what the fuck happened here?, this doesn't even feel remotely related to the original book. For context, the original no longer human is not horror, it's just basically a autobiography of osamu dazai, who shortly after would commit suicide, there are some weird/unsettling moments in the book but it's never horror, junji ito took some elements of the original book like the spectral-style paintings and just went OFF with that, it's not really an adaptation, it's more just junji ito doing his typical style of manga just with the skin of no longer human, can't say I liked it

No Longer Human (Usamuru Furuya): 7/10: I liked this one, it's basically no longer human but set in the modern day, but it's close to the original work and it's actually really cool, my only complain is that they really skip on the youth of dazai and they basically just start when the drama starts, but I think that is a bit of a shame, yes, the first 20 pages or so of the book are pretty uneventful, but I think that is still an important part of the book that heavily affects the interpretation of the work later



edit: Ningen Shikkaku (Variety artworks): 8/10 the least popular one and the worst rated, somehow, my personal favourite, this is the most faithful, it's not a reimagining, it's itself just a direct adaptation, this isn't better or worse, reimagining are fine, I like them. Point is, my complain with the previous two mangas is that they kinda forced a certain interpretation on the story, junji ito turned it into horror furuya usamuru mainly focused on the drama and the exciting parts, this keeps the soul intact, tho it's by far the shortest, being only 1 volume instead of the 3 the other two are, so it doesn't really explore it as deeply, but that is not the point of the manga

Variety Art Works is a production company that provided artists to work on the Manga de Dokuha series (まんがで読破, Reading Through with Manga). Manga de Dokuha is a series of manga versions of worldwide classic literature with the aim of introducing average manga readers to important literary works they would otherwise not be aware of or willing to read.

so it's just a introduction, and it works, it does feel like the original book and if you hadn't read it, reading this may be a good push

there is another one I will read today probably

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan 7/10



There's nothing much to say about Nokotan other than the fact it's nonsensical comedy, although not the best and I would have liked to see the other characters have more appearances as just Koshitan and Nokotan having a lot more screen time than the other two main characters.

That's all. Overall decent.

Uzumaki 6/10



The biggest flop of this year according to MAL, yes I can see why this could be considered disappointing but it wasn't THAT bad. Production problems aside the voice acting and soundtrack were good enough. At least they tried I guess.


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hidamari Sketch 8/10



(Season 1 of 4)
Yes it's a quite normal CGDCT with the gimmick being that they all study at an art school. I think it was quite good, particularly how the characters interacted. Something to note is that for a SHAFT anime the amount of headtilts was very low.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season 9/10



Oh, only 4 arcs adapted? Jeez. At least it's good to see Monogatari back.

As a whole, the animation quality has been incredible. Long ago were the days where production problems made the animation seem awkward at times. Sure, by Tsukimonogatari (2014) it was noticeable that the production issues were minimal enough to make the broadcast version seem good enough, but by this season there IS an improvement in the animation.

Now another thing that I'd like to state, pacing has been improving as well, it does not longer feel as dragged as previous seasons and I feel glad for that. Sure, Monogatari is slow-paced but now it does not feel sluggish.

As for the arcs themselves:
Tsukihi Undo was quite funny and a very good way to start off-season. It's the shortest arc so far, with only 1 episode, which felt enough.

Nadeko Draw was surely the best of the four arcs. They managed to give Nadeko an excellent conclusion to her story.

Acerola Bon Appétit was somewhat strange, yet it managed to be great. The decision of animating it as a prologue for the next arc was spot on.

And finally Shinobu Mustard was... somewhat weaker than the other three, sure it was interesting but... I feel like they're forcing Araragi to have more stories. His story having concluded in Zoku Owarimonogatari felt enough.

At least the other characters had their moment to shine in this great comeback of a series, and I hope we don't have to wait 5 years for the rest of the novels being adapted.

JJK (Manga): 7/10

honestly i'm a bit disappointed as I actually enjoyed the anime and consider it one of my favourite shounens, it's just that the pacing of the manga does feel kind of bad. Honestly, the anime overall feels less smug and feels it gives more time to character moments, the manga feels edgier and faster which may be a good thing for some but not for me

I think the action scenes are pretty bad NGL, mainly because it feels like you were meant to read it as it was publishing and have a break every chapter. The magic system of JJK is complex, and while it does make sense, it's hard to keep track of, this isn't a problem if you're reading while it's being published, you get time to analyze the fight and talk about it with your friends and overall understand things better, but just reading it at a normal speed uninterrupted, every fight feels like RANDOM BULLSHIT GO as there is a brand new attack followed by a flashback of how they learnt that skill and it's just there is also not any real point of reference for any of the characters power level anyone could do anything and any point and win so it never really feels like a tight fight

Now, every chapter ends with a cliffhanger, again, good for the weekly reader, not so much for like literally any other point in time, I feel they give such importance to the last page that honestly devalues the rest of the chapter,

now, what I said about the manga being edgier. JJK has a thing which is also present in many modern shounen which is to be cool is to be smug, to not really give a shit about anything, honestly, make it look that you're even bored of the fight, which I do get, it's kinda cool, but honestly that only works in certain circumstances like maybe when there is an aura of mistery around the character, as it can make the character feel hateable. If you see every other character putting effort in or suffering and they just don't really care that doesn't make them cool that makes them look like an asshole, in the anime this feels better because there are more scenes that humanize the characters, at least they get more screentime, while in JJK they feel like one in a billion

I don't like how this was marketed either, they kinda went like "oh we're going to kill EVERY character that is because JJK is adult and cool and better than the rest" and that just doesn't make a good story, the quality of the story isn't proportional to how many characters you kill

𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐲𝐨 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝟗/𝟏𝟎 & 𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐲𝐨 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥:𝐫𝐞 𝟖/𝟏𝟎

Tokyo ghoul was one of my first anime & manga ever. Now that i have re-read it, i felt like it is still almost a masterpiece. Manga has way more background than the anime. Firstly when i did read Tokyo Ghoul:re few years ago, it felt somehow off to me and i gave it a 6, but now that i finally did re-read it, it was between 7-9 all the time. There was so many moments that i felt this deserves a 9 but sometimes just 7 so i guess 8 is a right call. I think the author Sui Ishida is almost like genius with these type of horror mangas. I dont want to spoil anything if you somehow haven't read Tokyo Ghouls yet so im basically just telling my opinion on it but i will say, if you don't really enjoy dark stuff and only read some casual stuff, this probably isn't for you. it is kinda heavy. BUT IF you have only watched the animes of tokyo ghoul, i really recommend to read the manga. So much more stuff has put into that its way better :)

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 9/10



The second season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei did turn up the surrealness to the next level. Quite the same as 1st season but with a budget boost and a somewhat better structure.

For some reason fanservice was turned up as well so uuuuhh... but still I found this overall funnier than season one, possibly because how the jokes dared to take higher stakes in general, as well as increasing the overall darkness of by a bit.

UPDATE: Adding Goku to this commentary since it's the S2's OVA which also has a 9 from me. Same as before except that the opening hits really hard, particularly the rap version.

Pugyuru 4/10



Short 3.5-minute anime with a weird alienish creature that, while it's random, it fails at being funny. The pacing feels sluggish for a short episode anime, music is repetitive and animation is goddamn horrible. It barely has anything redeemable aside from 20% of jokes being decent.

Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 9/10



Adding Bangaichi OVA to this, which I rated 8/10

Sooo this has been the final season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It was better to end at this point than letting your comedy run stale. Budget has been raised once again for this season, possibly sacrificing Bakemonogatari's budget at this point. Either way, this season for some reason got a lot more political than the previous two, which I liked on how the jokes were executed. Solid last season, although the Bangaichi final OVA was weaker overall, even if the opening was an excellent way to conclude this series.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card: 8/10: I don't have much to say about this manga, the story is okay, it's def not as good as sailor moon or other magical girl stuff i've seen/read, probably weaker than a lot of other CLAMP stuff too, however, god the art is GOOD and carries the whole manga, specially the last arc it's just peak

Little Busters! 6/10



For most of the series this was the most average plot I have seen. Almost nothing stood out for me aside from a couple decent arcs. Most of it was aggresively okay, and the plot progression was inconsistent but mostly slow as hell.

Great sequel to an otherwise mid first season. It managed to make justice for the whole story and dared to take risks the first season didn't. I see why this is considered one of the best sequels in anime.

There, big. The other One Room with Harumachi Clover is not what I'm looking at.

Harem. Supernatural. SoL. An odd combination, I'll be fair with you, especially with "Supernatural" being there.
In fact the background setting really takes this a tad bit too far with, say, Hisui, but eh, fantasy is fantasy, just don't think overmuch. Although I'll have to it, Towa is on a whole new level.

This could've been 7/10 if not for few tsukkomi points, though, especially coming from Noel.

There's also another ""general consensus"" where "Kirara = yuri" and this is also not true--in fact Joukamachi no Dandelion CHALLENGES this notion, and it really pushed well, but at the end of the day it's an SoL, which means you may as well kick back, because this series is indeed an SoL at heart, despite the background setting. Well, it being an SoL with the setting is why I decided to rate 5/10, since if not for the setting I'd have kept this series and rated, say, 7/10.

As a VN player seeing Santa Matsuri as the artist who handled the character designs had me just dumbfounded to the point I don't know if I want to wipe it or not. I kid you not, Santa Matsuri is a godly artist.
Oh, the music is not really that good, it's decent at best.

When the next update will be is beyond me, because I'm not REALLY down for NEW anime nowadays, due to the commute that's freaking 40km, which means more than half of my day is spent on work or the commute to and from home, to the point I'm just down to rewatches of "eternal" ^1 series for me or pretty much Himitsu no AiPri.

(Manga) The World Is Mine: 8/10: this manga is weird as fuck, it's a really hard manga to follow, had to reread sections multiple times, however, it is very ambitious, it has really memorable dialogue, it's a manga that changes and develops a lot during the course of the anime and really tries to convey a message and honestly I think it does it pretty well, it's just that you need to put in the time and effort

(Manga) Kiichi!!: 8/10 Same author, I liked it more than the world is mine, it's easier to follow, better art and again, it's actually complex, it actaully does stuff, it's just a really good and solid psychological manga, will read the sequel now, but I'm really liking this mangaka

Fuujin Monogatari 8/10



Overlooked and underrated anime. Mostly an episodic iyashikei of people with wind manipulation powers (Avatar before Avatar lmao), but with an experimental approach in animation quite reminiscent of Yuasa's style... although surprisingly he had no involvement whatsoever.

Yaay flying cats.

Also took the image from the Production IG site instead of MAL because of the alternative logo not being there (the one in the top right of the image).

Natsu no Arashi! Akinaichuu 7/10



The second season of Natsu no Arashi! definitely was weaker than the first, starting by the fact most of the season the plot doesn't advance at all till episode 9, turning the series into just comedy. It was okay but still... why was this released on the same year than season 1? They surely had no material to adapt or something. There was also no ending, like at all, no conclusion, last episode barely felt like a last episode.

Kuuchuu Buranko 10/10



Kuuchuu Buranko is a series about an eccentric psychiatrist that treats his patients where each episode a different case is treated. Seemingly simple enough premise, but with a flawless and amazing execution. Sure, each episode can be watched standalone but the more you progress you find in how each of the cases intertwine among each other; it's not the most surprising or mind-bending use of non-linear storytelling, rather, it tries to convey how people are attached to each other, how each one's problems have repercussions in people around us, and how it tells us that, while other people have their problems, that does not mean you should ignore your own.

I am simply amazed by the existence of this series as being one of the best written dramas I have seen in an anime, with the underlying message of "nobody is perfect". Kuuchuu Buranko has a cast (outside the main ones) who are written realistically and believable, and even if the character development is basically on one episode, it is done greatly enough to emphasize how healing takes place, or who knows, just learning to live with your own mental afflictions could be enough in case of incurable ones. My only complaint is, just like it hapenned with Mononoke, is that it was too short and I would have loved to see conditions like depression, adhd or schizophrenia being treated, still, it's simply phenomenal and unique, and a series I will love.

Again the "confusing, depressing, but beautiful movie sequel" attacking again, I'd have been incredibly angry if this was the actual end of Madoka lmao. The story was made even more confusing, something I think it was not really needed, as it feels like everything was being done on the fly just to give more lore to Madoka. I... think the series was enough. Anyway I will see what they're up to for the last movie, which I hope is the last.

Mitsuami no Kamisama 8/10



A short 28-minute film that genuinely left me impressed, particularly the direction, storytelling and artstyle. My only problem with it, is how vague is the overall story. It's one of those where many of the things are left to your interpretation, which isn't bad by itself, but being this a half-hour story, some themes feel half-baked. Still a worthwhile short.

Stan Lee's anime.
Looks good even if made by DEEN.
Story had a nice mystery but its execution was slow as heck and the one that's supposed to be the protagonist has the charisma of a stone. Could have been way better but still, it was still more than I expected for an anime rated SO low. Given how NOBODY talks about this series, I can see why. Not revolutionary despite its unique artstyle.

Dandadan 7/10



Hey it's the anime that for some reason became wildly popular this season and... I genuinely don't understand why, yeah it's good but, why do people like this so much, not the best thing I have ever seen.

Hidamari Sketch x 365 9/10



(Season 2 of 4)

Dude.

That's one of the biggest budget boosts I have ever seen for a second season. Also the ordering of the stories seem a bit more coherent than in season 1, making you feel that the story and character development is actually happening. The comedy has also improved for the most aspects as well. Being literally the first Manga Time Kirara adaptation I can see why they didn't risk with giving S1 too much budget, but I am glad it was successful enough for a second, third or even fourth season.


And with that I close 2024. Happy new year to everyone!

Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu 9/10



(Season 3 of 4)

So, it's already a feat that a CGDCT anime had three seasons, and it's even more of a feat to make it still feel fresh, and it's even more of a feat that the two new additions to the main cast fit so well with the characters that were already there... Well done. I'd also like to notice that unlike season 1 and 2, this turned into a more linear story, with some flashback and past segments that are integrated more organically compared to the first two seasons. Animation got a slight o.

Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb 9/10



(Season 4 of 4)

While the adaptation is still ongoing, the fourth season seems to focus on wrapping up the story to give it a conclusion, making it the only season where the story was purely linear. Animation yet again looks more polished and detailed (guessing it's because of the success Madoka had). Solid overall.

Hidamari Sketch: Sae Hiro Sotsugyou-hen 10/10



(OVA of season 4)

The graduation of Hiro and Sae seems like the perfect point to end the series, where everything went to an end in a satisfying conclusion. It was really emotional to the point of crying of happiness. I will miss this series to be honest. Despite the simple story the characters were incredibly likeable, like a sitcom you'd really cherish because of how genuine and fun the interactions are. Other strong point of Hidamari Sketch overall is the sense of belonging and community, how important is to keep healthy friendships and how each of the characters slowly grow as people. As I said, this was a perfect conclusion at least for the anime, and I really doubt I'd need to see anything related to this series in a while. I am perfectly satisfied.

Kanata no Astra: 4/10: My third official anime drop according to myanimelist, it was just very bad

science fiction show about this high school group that goes through a wormhole and gets lost in space during their space field trip. Idea is cool but it's just ends up being insufferable

I feel every character is a dumbass, like I go like "oh they can just do this" and they end up doing it but after 15 minutes of panicking, that on itself isn't necessarily bad, but then you have how the characters are written. There are a lot of characters and a lot of them are very flat. In episode 4 there is also a scene where they go "i'm not heping the crew I don't have any special skills unlike everyone else on the ship" and then another character has like a inspirational dialogue where they say it doesn't matter, it would be fine if this just ended here with them recovering the motivation, but they just fix it by giving them a special skill later that chapter, so what's the fucking point of that dialogue

episode 5 is a fucking beach episode that is when I dropped it, they start doing a romance sideplot and it's just again really poorly done

it truly felt I could be doing better things with my time than watching this anime

Tomodachi Game (Manga): 9/10
I picked this one up in 2022 and caught up at the time. I didnt realise it actually had an ending written for it until about an hour ago, where I had a bit left.

The ending actually hit hard and was actually kind of beautiful and hopeful, but not to an extent where its at a fault and unrealistic. The characters were written really well, and the dynamic between money and friendship stays true to the end. The artstyle is really detailed, and I often found myself jumping when turning the page and seeing some insane facial expression.

As a reader you lose your ability to trust anything or anyone until the very VERY end.
A common comparison for the bulk of the story is 'Classroom of The Elite', but I feel that comparison is unfortunate. Tomodachi game and its characters have a direction which clears itself up, and the main character has a set goal and motives from the very beginning, whereas the COTE storyline and main character feels bland and aimless, committing to trickery for no real reason.

Whilst a bit edgy, Tomodachi Game has a message, a message clearly communicated early on, and even though at a first glance it may seem that things get crazy, over the top and deviate from this philosophy, the ending pages bring everything together very nicely.

I've mentioned the ending alot but the story itself is amazing alone, each character is pushed to their limits at some point in the story, the truth gets unveiled, thrown out the window, and a cycle of distrust starts to brew. Character design is also very cool, the mascot is cute, the s are cool and some of the main characters get pretty creepy. There are set arcs, or rounds within the game, but as each round es it becomes apparent that the game becomes increasingly hostile, as the finding the truth takes over the priority of securing victory.

Certified hood classic, I'm glad I saw this to the end.

[DROP]Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai: Under the innocent sky 3/10



Dropped by episode 2, it was borderline porn. Yeah I know that it had the ecchi tag, but in some instances, it can be ignored or be used as a tool to make the story somewhat more transgressive (i.e. Yurikuma Arashi or Monogatari), however here's just... awkward, just to make people self-pleasure. Either way this isn't what made me dislike this series the most, what made me drop it was... its characters, who the fuck wrote them? They're mostly supposedly adults but they all act like horny teenagers, also, there's a like 10 year old who fucking... wears... lingerie... and is an exhibitionist because supposedly according to the author "they do that in her country". No fucking sane country allows that what the fuck.

I watched it due to the convoluted mystery plot but definitely this isn't for me.

Kyou no Yuiko-san (7/10) 5w3b3y




Pleasantly surprised.

While the story is the generic tsundere and normal guy, the romance felt more grounded and natural. The character development was really good. Them just getting to know each other and maturing on the way felt really good to read. The art was pretty decent. The side characters and their stories were very short and wholesome. Not too much drama. I wish it went for 1 more volume though because the ending felt a teensy bit rushed but overall this was a fun read. Easy recommend.

Bishounen Tanteidan 7/10



Oh, boi.

Another anime adaptation of NisiOisiN, by the same studio that adapted his most famous novel? (Would be the third time it happens by this point) Is it as good as Monogatari?

No.

It's not bad either though.

I liked Bishounen Tanteidan, particularly the characters are nicely written and animation looked good... sometimes, because damn it falls flat in some other points, one could notice it was on Shaft's decadent era.

Story is quite absurd, partly in the good way but also in the bad way. Some conclusions to the story, as well as some plot points of certain arcs were like... "yeah that would DEFINITELY happen". It's the second time I see in an anime a casino ran by secondary schoolers (the other being Classroom of the Elite), how is even that... allowed? Either way. It gets better since the paintings arc and the conclusion was decent albeit very clichéd "oh here's a montage why our protagonist is cool", quite sappy if you ask me. The central theme of "beauty" was nice to see, and it's a unique anime in most senses. While it's a dialogue-heavy story it does not feel sluggish, mostly. I wish they made a season 2 to adapt the rest of the novels too.
(last paragraph copypasted from my MAL)

Katte ni Kaizou 8/10



Yeah this is a prototype Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei of some sorts as it's an OVA based on an older manga by the same author. Humor is the same except that it's raunchier and more unhinged, reaching borderline ecchi levels. In theory the comedy is bad but I found it quite funny, particularly in the latter two episodes where you notice Kumeta's comedy evolved. A plotless gag humor anime but still far from bad.

The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody (Anime)

Pretty solid 7/10


Really compelling prologue and story. However, it felt somewhat fast paced in some parts of the anime itself and felt too generic for an isekai. I will say though that it was a nice experience seeing the MC start from scratch and then following along his journey.

There's a whole lot to unpack but I would give too many spoilers if I were to tell y'all. I'd recommend it to your average isekai enjoyer.

Negaposi Angler 7/10



This is by no means a bad anime but I feel the story would have worked better as a movie with either focusing on the drama or focusing on the fishing. Animation was somewhat weak too, and the plot progression felt awkward, like they sell you that the terminal illness of Tsunehiro would be the biggest causing of drama yet it's barely touched. The part of the debt collectors was also anticlimatic and added almost nothing to the overall story, and the last three chapters felt like "oh yeah we need to give an ending to this series".

Yeah copypasted from MAL.

Negima?! 7/10



For a score of just 6.93, I was surprised how this turned to be quite decent. Wouldn't call this underrated but rather overhated.

It's far from perfect, but it has its strengths: The animation, soundtrack and voice acting was excellent. The comedy was quite funny most of the time, and it didn't try to take itself too seriously. The plot was simple but mostly interesting.

Now for the bad parts: The magic world arc started horribly, with 7 episodes where the plot didn't advance at all. There's also the problem that anime that try to focus on the whole classroom have: Many characters are left out and served just as background jokes.

Either way, it was an enjoyable series, and while this is the "worse" version of Negima, it did make me care about the existence of the franchise. Miiiiight read the manga.

Yeah copypasted from MAL too.

Tasokare Hotel starts as an episodic mystery anime but it slowly the mystery focuses on the main characters, which makes the story more interesting. The overall mystery was well done and it seems like it's a good adaptation of the game it was based on.

Maria Holic 4/10



Forgettable, repetitive and mediocre. I didn't laugh in many episodes, or at most, barely had a moment where I smiled. Kanako has no personality other than haha she's a lesbian please laugh haha haha hahaha. I hated Mariya at the beginning but I appreciate him more as the one that kept Kanako at bay, she is a creep that deserves it.

Okay now for the good points, I loved Kobayashi Yuu's acting and animation seems quite good for 2009. The dorm mistress also had her funny moments, but other than that, the series could be perfectly ignored.

I will watch S2 solely because I want to complete Shaft's animeography.
